HyperX - Cloud III S - Wireless Gaming Headset

I haven't detected any hiss/white noise with my pair. I've used them with the ultra low latency wireless dongle and/or Bluetooth on PS5 Pro, iPad Pro, iPhone 17 Pro, Switch 2, Lenovo Legion Go S and wired to the PS Portal. No hiss in any of these situations for me.

I strongly advise against getting the Alphas, less comfortable than the Cloud 3s and I've had nothing but issues with crosstalk/sound bleeding, was an absolute nightmare and I've since then switched to Cloud 3 and they're amazing. Sure they have a slightly flatter sound plane than the Alphas but EQ makes up for it and I barely hear the difference now, mic is also way better.

Dual mode connectivity is fairly common for higher-end gaming headsets, but not too much on budget models. The new HyperX [Cloud III S Wireless](https://hyperx.com/products/hyperx-cloud-iii-s-wireless-gaming-headset) is pretty good (definitely better than a Cloud Flight), but it's a bit past your budget. There's also the SteelSeries [Arctis Nova 5 Wireless](https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-5) (as well as the better [Arctis Nova Pro Wireless](https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-nova-pro), but that's way past your budget).

if he cares about good sound, hyperx cloud 3 s wireless

i had the Logitech Pro X wired and now im on the Hyper X Cloud 3s wireless. With the Logitech i never had an EQ i just used the standard with the Logitech G Hub settings. The HyperX default sound feels "flat" but with an EQ and the DTSX they sound rly good in games, YT and movies. I would say both are an good option. I feel like the mic on the HyperX is a little bit better but never had a complain about the mic on both. You can't go wrong with either one.

HyperX Cloud 3 s wireless. They’re on sale on Amazon right not for like $120 I think. Astro A50x. People will shit on these but I always end up coming back. Feels pretty open, so not as immersive. Audeze Maxwell. if you like heavy things on your head. I don’t think the directional audio in my experience is as good with these than the other two. Nova Pro Elite. If you want to throw $600 at your problem and get sound a little worse than the Maxwells

HyperX Cloud 3s and I wouldn’t think twice.

I got this white version last week myself. Great headset wit great audio.

I use a pair of Sennheiser HD550's going through a Fosi K7 Amp/Dac when i want wired and a pair of HyperX Cloud III S Wireless when i want some wireless action. Both top picks and you can get the HyperX at a great price these days.

Have both the cloud 3s and alpha 2. 3s is my vote by a long shot between the two. To me it just sounds better. If the alphas sound is similar to the alpha 2 then the 3s is brighter, and more exciting. Alpha 2 just seems muddy.

Personally, I like wired earbuds like the Sennheiser IE200, but that being said, my bud has the Cloud 3s and the Arctis Nova Pro wireless, and I prefer the comfort of the Arctis, but I definitely say the sound from the HyperX 3s is better in my opinion.

The surround is nice especially for siege and games that’s sound is everything

WIred- Sennheiser pc38x, Wireless- astro a50(non x, x just gives you hdmi passthrough which is really for ps5/xbox kind of stuff)good sound, great mic, . Budget, hyperx cloud 3s(120 right now, sound is top tier, mic is med, battery is absolutely impressive) . Arctis is great and while the mic is kind of mid, it works. Dont go audeze maxwell, mac is pretty bad but it weight like double some of the other options, tho sound is fantastic. I have been geeeking on the cloud 3s the past month, actually great headset. If mic is important, pc38x or a50 gen5,
